- George Turcotte of Mississippi Mills Musicworks in Almonte presents The Slide Rules, a two hour workshop on practical
technique and theory behind good slide playing. The Workshop runs Tuesday, February 7th at our music shop in Almonte.
Participants can join us for the first one hour session ($25) or for the full event ($40) for a deeper understanding of this unique
and expressive approach to the guitar. Beyond basic technique, we'll discuss standard and open tunings, the Nashville
number system, and (using this system) how to build your own blues turnarounds { and use them in a million ways and in
infinitely more places than at the end of the classic twelve bar }. We'll also study some classic licks by early pioneers of
slide guitar including Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Johnny Winter, Ry Cooder and more. Call 613-256-PLAY (7529) to register today! You can also visit our website at www.mmmusicworks.ca, or George's www.georgeturcotte.com

- Seeking Lead vocals for classic hard rock music project. Our direction will be influenced by whoever joins of course.

No 2 night bar type gigs. We prefer to play concert style gigs as openers for other well known bands in the area to start.Looking for someone who will commit to learning the tunes and knowing their parts. We all have full time jobs, are mature players, not into the drug scene as we get high on the music experience itself. If this sounds interesting to you, please reply.

- Ottawa-based band's One More Me and Lovenbodyparts are pleased to announce, in partnership with local venue Café Dekcuf, an upcoming, official "Movember" fundraiser on Saturday, November 26, 2011 at Café Dekcuf (221 Rideau St. at Cumberland). All of the proceeds from the door will be donated and work towards furthering the research on prostate cancer. The aim of Movember, the month formerly known as November, is to raise funds for mens' health issues - especially prostate cancer. Participants, or "Mo Bros", begin on the moustache-growing journey at the beginning of the month and, along the way, raise awareness and collect donations for research which furthers the education, treatment and prevention of various mens' health issues. In addition to the fundraising event, One|More|Me will be releasing their self-titled debut album, which will be available at the show. One|More|Me, seemingly a love-child of Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, with a wave of lovesick Interpol thrown in, layers dirty synths and guitars over a pulsing foundation of bass and drums. The night's line-up will also include Ottawa's original rocktronica headlining act, Lovenbodyparts and 4-piece alternative rock band, Brave the Third. ca.movember.com --
